If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

That's the most important thing to me - that if I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie, give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months, then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.

Simon Cowell

Give light and people will find the way.

Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. In love-ness is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about happy and unhappy marriages.

John Holt

You save yourself or you remain unsaved.

Alice Sebold

A refined nature is vexed by knowing that some one owes it thanks, a coarse nature by knowing that it owes thanks to some one

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is only one cure for the evils which newly acquired freedom produces, and that cure is freedom.

Thomas B. Macaulay

I love cats.

Dick Van Patten

Don't be afraid of the shadows, that only means there's a light nearby.
